Chapter 12 Configuring Traffic Policies
Configuring Rules and Actions for Policy Maps
Assumptions
• You have configured a load-balancing policy map and want to establish the corresponding rules and
actions.
• If you want to configure an SSL proxy action, you have configured SSL proxy service for this
context.
• If you want to insert, rewrite, and delete HTTP headers, ensure that an HTTP header modify action
list has been configured. See Configuring an HTTP Header Modify Action List, page 12-90 for more
information.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Config > Virtual Contexts > context > Expert > Policy Maps. The Policy Maps table appears.
Step 2 In the Policy Maps table, select the load-balancing policy map you want to set rules and actions for, and
then select the Rule tab. The Rule table appears.
Step 3 In the Rule table, click Add to add a new rule, or select an existing rule, and then Edit to modify it. The
Rule configuration screen appears.
Step 4 Select the type of rule to be used:
• Class Map—Indicates that the ACE appliance is to use an existing class map that identifies the rules
and corresponding actions. If you select this rule type, continue with Step 5.
• Match Condition—Indicates that the ACE appliance is to use a set of conditions to identify the rules
and corresponding actions. If you select this rule type, continue with Step 6.
Step 5 If you select Class Map, either check the Use Class Default check box to use a default class map or
specify a previously created class map:
a. Clear the Use Class Default check box.
b. In the Class Map Name field, select the class map to be used.
c. In the Insert Before field, indicate whether this rule is to precede another rule in this policy map.
– N/A—Indicates that this option is not configured.
– False—Indicates that this rule is not to precede another rule in this policy map.
– True—Indicates that this rule is to precede another rule in this policy map.
d. If you select True, the Insert Before Policy Rule field appears. Select the rule that you want the
current rule to precede.
Step 6 For match conditions:
a. In the Match Condition Name field enter a name for the match condition. Valid entries are unquoted
text strings with no spaces and a maximum of 64 alphanumeric characters.
b. In the Match Condition Type field, select the method by which match decisions are to be made and
their corresponding conditions. See Table 12-19 for information about these selections.
